Hi Dawn,Everyone has gone, my house is quiet, and I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks. I'm thankful that I found you and your blog. You have given me so much inspiration through the wonderful things you share here. I look forward to reading each and every post.

I know what you mean, Dawn. I feel so blessed sometimes that I need to pinch myself and make sure I'm not dreaming! Even on the bad days, I can find blessings in the simplest of things. Perspective is everything. I get so much joy from your blog, my blog friends and the creativity and inspiration I find here. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with your boys and granddaughter. I'm giving away an altered vintage milk crate for the holidays. Do enter if you get a moment. Take care!

I so agree with your words today. The simple things... This photo really catches my eye. Obviously, this little girl is well-loved with a new dress and a new dolly. Still she is from a humble family for her shoes are worn and the background shows a simple life.

Dear Dawn,Simple things in my life :the fantastic nature, my warm house, my warm cosy bed (like you)-and today, the beauty of snow falling from the sky---simple,yet very importent, and beautifull things, for which I`m very thankfull, every day.And upon this, I`m so very thankfull for you being my friend, dear Dawn.Love and hugs, and kiss--Dorthe

I am thankful for all blessings especially now, when there is so much need and want all over the world. I am so grateful to have discovered this wonderful world of blog where there are so many kindred spirits...seeing the work of so many creative people is so inspiring.

This is why I love you so much Dawn! Your spirit shines through on your blog and I can feel it's warmth clear up here in Idaho! You always send out so much love to us and it leaves me inspired always.Much love my sweet friend...

Little ol' me

About Me

My name is Dawn Edmonson. I'm a wife for 36 years to the same wonderful man, mother to five great boys ranging in age from 34 to 19 years old and grandmother to one precious little girl and two sweet little boys. We have a Devon Rex cat and a crazy little Jack Russell/
Chihuahua mix puppy who will steal your heart.
I love to create one-of-a-kind artwork to sell in my Etsy shop. I enjoy keeping up with my blog and am amazed at the inspiration I get from others blogs and sweet comments that are left for me. I am drawn to all things old, with plenty of character and enjoy using small, antique trinkets in my artwork. Being able to create is truly my bliss.
